A Lebanese source told Al-Mayadeen that the fifth round of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel will begin in Washington on June 22. According to the report, the Lebanese delegation will include military officers, in an effort to reach a decision on the IDF withdrawal issue.
According to a Lebanese source cited by the Al-Mayadeen channel, the fifth round of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel is set to begin in Washington on June 22. The report states that the Lebanese delegation will include military officers, signifying an effort to reach a definitive decision on the withdrawal of IDF forces from Lebanese territory.
This development follows a series of diplomatic efforts mediated by the United States. As The Zioneer reported on June 3, talks had shown an improved atmosphere, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressing hope for a joint statement and action plan. A subsequent report on June 12 indicated talks in Doha had made progress toward a comprehensive regional agreement that would include a resolution on Lebanon. The inclusion of military officers in the Lebanese delegation suggests an attempt to finalize the technical and security arrangements related to the IDF's withdrawal, a core sticking point in the negotiations. The status of Hezbollah's presence south of the Litani River remains a key underlying issue.
